Did you know that people only
remember 20% of what they read?
Join in this latest episode as Sarah Elkins and Avil Beckford discuss the bigger picture of “just reading a book”. Sarah and Avil break down the novels that have been significant throughout Avil’s life, as well as the power in understanding the books we choose.
If you love reading and want to reimagine how you perceive books, this is the podcast episode for you.
“Before you read you need to be clear of the reason why you’re reading the book.”

ABOUT SARAH:
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
